Every previous generation has its touchstone. Where were you on V-J Day, or when Kennedy was shot, or when you heard about the Challenger disaster? Now you can watch history unfold for yourself. From Mel Antonen:
MLB Trade Rumors: Derrek Lee Available To Highest Bidder
#Orioles would likely take a mid-level prospect for hot-hitting 1B D. Lee. Then, move #Mark Reynolds to 1B in final two months.
Just a mid-level prospect? Not sure why they should settle. If they can get Domonic Brown for Lee, they should certainly think about it. In this scenario, Ryan Howard plays third and sets some interesting records.
Lee started the season miserably before going on the disabled list for an oblique tweak, and calling him "hot-hitting Derrek Lee" is a bit much -- he's hitting .247 with a .287 on-base percentage in July -- but he has shown a little power lately.
As a pretty good glove and lefty-masher off the bench, he could certainly help a couple of teams, but he’s also due over $2 million for the remainder of the year, so the O’s would have to eat a bunch of money to get even a mid-level prospect. Even then, that’s a pretty unlikely return. We’re probably in PTBNL territory here, and that player will probably feel pretty bad about himself when he’s named later.
